Bill Clinton authorized Sandy Berger's access

"Makes me wonder if Clinton deliberately withheld these AQ threats from the Bush administration and there was correspondence or margin notes to show that..."

Yeah... nothing is beneath the Clintonistas, from the silencing of Slick Willie's many female accusers, to having subpoenaed Whitewater documents mysteriously disappear, to the pardons of felons, to sale of state secrets to China, etc.

Sandy Burglar's defense that he was constantly having to tie his shoes and pull up his socks is absolutely hilarious.

Imagine the media uproar if W or a staff member tried to claim something absurd like that: "We were slow to respond to the 9-11 attacks because all the "w" buttons were mysteriously missing from our computers when I took office."

The Sandy Burglar incident has really gotten under my skin. I was sure he was going to be punished.
But, as brought forth there were alot of ploys that could be used to thwart any serious prosecution.
One is the Great Right Wing Conspiracy. Clintonistas were ready to accuse Republicans of 'crucifixtion'.

If this was a botched leak/handoff, then there's another reporter/MSMr somewhere in Washington these days that didn't hold up his end of the bargain to grab the docs from under the trailer.

Anybody going missing lately?

Any reporters shown up in Ft Marcy Park?

Later, Berger said if he had been asked to return the file "it would have triggered a decision for him to give the documents back."

So it's the archive workers' fault then.

Lame excuses.

Sure, Comey is a rat and everybody should have been well aware he's corrupt to the core. And very possibly it was he who directed the Berger charade. But Bush can snap his fingers and station that corrupt clown to a basement office somewhere to stomp on roaches if he wants to. Instead, he elevated the scumbag.

And as far as the Berger case goes, that scandal was widely publicized, and everybody had heard about "Sandy Burglar". Even the Democrat judge in the case blinked at the plea agreement (and only went along with it after she presumably got a phone call from somebody).

I disagree with you that Bush is the kind of President who just sits back and lets underlings pee all over him like this. I think this whole Berger joke was just another case of the old, "We'll go easy on your crooks if you go easy on our crooks" game that is played in Dirty City every day.

It's not what I had hoped for.

Wonder what old hillary would do!!!!

The words "Vince Foster" come to mind!

[Spunky]

Despite his April 1, 2005, guilty plea for Unauthorized Removal and Retention of Classified Material, Berger still vehemently denies smuggling any documents in his socks. According to the report, he said he was adjusting them "because his shoes frequently come untied and his socks frequently fall down."

No problem with smuggling documents, just don't accuse him of putting them in his socks. LOL!

Clinton's agent? Hmmmm. Under the doctrine of respondeat superior and general principles of agency law, a principal (Clinton) should be responsible for the acts of his agent (Berger) within the scope of his agency (examination of documents). Arguably, Clinton should be held responsible for Berger's actions as his agent, at least viz. a viz. third parties, i.e. the United States. Berger might be liable to Clinton to the extent he acted inconsistently with the terms of his agency, but the principal should still be responsible.

Nail Clinton - it wouldn't be double jeopardy.

GW could not purge the DOJ of democrats when he took office because he did not have the legal authority to do so.

I have been saying this for SIX YEARS but nobody will listen.

Heck, Ashcroft even went to Congress just to try to MOVE some people around and Congress said NO. You cannot get rid of civil servants, period.

And the last thing Bill Clinton did as he went out of the door of the Oval Office was to make the vast majority of his political appointees CIVIL SERVANTS.

BUMP

When Henry Kissinger was eulogizing President Ford recently, he spoke of Ford as a plain, honest man who had core beliefs and was unconcerned with his legacy. I immediately thought this was a veiled shot at Slick Willie, who directs his minions to manufacture a phony legacy via hook and crook.

I thought the same thing and applauded Henry.

But, but, but.... none of that was as baaaaaaaad as this, dontchaknow:

Post #63 in the thread below:

"The truth about Watergate is never told by the MSM because it is actually more embarrassing to to the Dems than to the Repubs.

Nixon's Plumbers were trying to get some dirt on one of the DNC's top guys; I think his name was O'Brien. O'Brien's "Head" secretary was running a liaison service with a brothel across the street from the Watergate hotel, where the Dem's had there Nat'l HQ.

The break-in was not about getting Dem strategic secrets, instead it was intended to get the names of the "Johns" from all over the country who had both visited the DNC and the "house of ill repute". G.Gordon Liddy relates the story well....JJ61

Heck, I have had to explain it TWICE already this morning. Check my posts to see where!

I can't understand why people REFUSE to understand how the Civil Service laws work. The compulsion to blame Bush must just be overwhelming!

[Bringbackthedraft]

"because his shoes frequently come untied and his socks frequently fall down."................Tell me that isn't something only a defense attorney would come up with as an excuse.

[Danae]

Thank you Jim. This is an "Oh duh" Moment though.

[Maigrey]

Now that is the spin of the day!

[Brad from Tennessee]

Richard A. Clarke? Jamie Gorelick?

[Mia T]

Didn't know this. But even if this was/is the case, why isn't the scheme reversible?? Seems an argument could have been made that the clintons' 'midnight' maneuver to make the vast majority of their political appointees CIVIL SERVANTS was nothing more than a cynical attempt to prevent the next president from doing precisely what they had done--purge the DOJ of the enemy.

Press will bury this story.

Surely not! *crickets*

[Scarchin]

The ignoring of this by the MSM is the best example of bias ever. My liberal friends respond to my questions about this with sullen silence.
